Agartala: Tipra Motha Party boss Pradyot Kishore Debbarma is pushing the youth of Tripura to ignore alliance chatter. He wants them to focus on constitutional land rights for the indigenous population instead. Debbarma spoke during an Instagram Live session as the state gears up for upcoming village council elections.
He took the fight for these polls all the way to the Supreme Court. The court eventually ordered the State Election Commission to move forward with the vote. Debbarma argues that village councils are the only way to get development money to the people. He claims cash currently gets trapped in red tape between officials, MLAs, and MDCs.
The indigenous leader wants unity. He told his supporters not to let religion or party politics tear them apart. "When Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland have land rights, and the Bodo, Dimasa and Karbi communities have land rights, why will Tiprasa people of Tripura not get land rights?" he asked. He stated he will only talk alliances with the Centre if constitutional protections for land are guaranteed.
Debbarma is calling for clean leadership. He warned party officials against handing out positions to their own relatives. He wants educated citizens to run for office and manage local administration. He pointed to Shillong, where professionals like retired officers and lawyers often step up to lead. Debbarma insists his political future is secondary to the needs of the Tiprasa people. He told young residents that the burden of their future rests on their shoulders.
